Veteran commentator Guy Bechor denounced Israel's decision to send a rescue delegation to earthquake-stricken Venezuela, accusing troops of looting instead of saving lives and calling the country one of Israel's 'greatest haters.' His remarks come as the Israeli mission, sent by the IDF and Foreign Ministry, operates in a country with no diplomatic ties to Israel.
Guy Bechor, a prominent right-wing Israeli commentator and Middle East expert, posted a lengthy condemnation Tuesday morning of Israel's decision to send a joint IDF-Foreign Ministry rescue delegation to earthquake-stricken Venezuela. Bechor alleged that Venezuelan regime soldiers have been caught on video looting belongings from collapsed buildings rather than conducting rescues, and that Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has not even visited the disaster zones. He then turned his fire on Israel: 'And who is sending a "rescue" delegation there, to our greatest haters? Disgraceful Israel. Would they send you help? All the years of war they responded to us with absolute venom of hatred. As far as they are concerned, let them all slaughter us.'
Israel dispatched the rescue mission despite having no diplomatic relations with Venezuela. As The Zioneer reported Tuesday at 01:32, the delegation is led by the Home Front Command and the Foreign Ministry. The mission joins a growing international response that now includes 16 nations—the EU has activated its civil protection mechanism to send 520 rescuers, while the Netherlands and Spain have also announced aid missions, as The Zioneer has noted in prior coverage. The official Venezuelan death toll stands at 164 but unverified reports suggest far higher numbers.
